TEA BAG.
Application filed may 10,
This invention relates to improvements in tea bags and more particularly in improvements in tea bags or tea balls which are designed to provide just one or two cups of tea and which obviate the need of a separate strainer in the tea kettle itself.
Another object of this invention is an improved tea bag designed to take the place of the wellknown tea bag of muslin now used which consists of a small bag of muslin or other open mesh cotton fabric containing the tea with a string attached by which the bag .is suspended in the cup, a label being usually attached to the end of the string.
Another object of my invention is the provision of a tea bag which may be used for the same purpose as these textile tea bags and which may be made from a single sheet of paper.
Further objects of the invention will be apparent from the specification and drawings in which I Fig. 1 shows aplan view of the paper blank from which my improved tea bag is cut.
Fig. 2 shows a perspective view of the completed tea bag cut and partly folded.
Fig. 3 is a View of the tea-containing portion of the bag showing how the tea is held therein, the bag being partly closed.
Fig. 4 is a perspective view of the bag showing the ends of the bag folded and twisted so as to close the same.
Fig. 5 is a sectional view of the bag shown in Fig. 4. x
Fig. 6 is a perspective view partly in sec:
tion showing the manner in which my improved tea bag is employed.
The bag which is preferably made of a singlesheet of paper consists of a body A, a holder B and a label-portion C. The body A is die-cut into the form shown in Fig. 2 and then has its ends turned upwardly and twisted around so as to close the mouth of 1928. Serial No. 276,537.
the bag containing the tea. If desired, a separate fastener may be inserted through the mouth of the bag at the point D shown in 4 to obviate any chance of the bag opening, but if the ends of the body A. are sufficiently long, this fastener will be found unnecessary. The body A has a series of openings therein EEE to permit the hot water freely percolating through the bag and it is apparent that the size of these openings may be varied according to the grade, quality or physical characteristics of the tea employed.
By making the tea bag all of one piece of paper, a large amount of labor is economized as the name of the tea as well as the brand and the name of the brand proprietor may be printed on the label portion of the tea and need not be separately afiixed on a label which is attached to a string as is the case with the present tea bags.
Having fully described my invention, what I claim is:
1. The process of making tea bags by cutting a blank from a single sheet of paper,
' folding and twisting one end thereof to enclose a quantity of tea and forming a handle and label-portion for said tea bag integral with the bag holding portion.
2. A tea ball made of a single sheet of paper having a tea holding portion, a handleand a label portion all integral with thetea holding portion.
3. A tea ball formed from a T-shaped blank and having a holder and label portion integral therewith.
4. A tea ball consisting of a perforated tea holding member, suspension means for said tea holding member and a label portion, all made from a single piece 'of paper.
In testimony whereof I hereunto afiix my signature.
HUGO MUOK.
